Lifestyle Navigation Rules

—INLAND— ANNEX I—Continued

§ 84.13 Color specification of lights (a) The chromaticity of all navigation lights shall conform to the following standards, which lie within the boundaries of the area of the diagram specified for each color by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), in the “Colors of Light Signals”, which is incorporated by reference. It is Publication CIE No. 2.2. (TC-1.6), 1975, and is available from the Illumination Engineering Society, 345 East 47 th Street, New York, NY 10017. It is also available for inspection at the Office of the Federal Register, Room 8401, 1100 L Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20408. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register. (b) The boundaries of the area for each color are given by indicating the corner coordinates, which are as follows: (1) White:

x 0.525 0.525 0.452 0.310 0.310 0.443 y 0.382 0.440 0.440 0.348 0.283 0.382 (2) Green:

x 0.028 0.009 0.300 0.203 y 0.385 0.723 0.511 0.356 (3) Red: x 0.680 0.660 0.735 0.721 y 0.320 0.320 0.265 0.259 (4) Yellow: x 0.612 0.618 0.575 0.575 y 0.382 0.382 0.425 0.406

§ 84.15 Intensity of lights (a) The minimum luminous intensity of lights shall be calculated by using the formula: l = 3.43 x 10 6 x T x D 2 x K -D where: I is luminous intensity in candelas under service conditions, T is threshold factor 2 x 10 -7 lux, D is range of visibility (luminous range) of the light in nautical miles, K is atmospheric transmissivity. For prescribed lights the value of K shall be 0.8, corresponding to a meteorological visibility of approximately 13 nautical miles.
